• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    F3 gremlins? Ugh

    Well, my 2015 F3-S SM6 is unridable AGAIN... with only 3500 miles on the odo, it once again runs like poo. Details: Starts right up, runs perfectly for a few seconds, then settles into a sputter/almost stalling at idle, with backfiring if the throttle is twisted. Jerks pretty hard if...

    Did someone on here buy this 2011 RS-S from Paulson's motorsports?

    Hi all, Paulson's had my old Spyder, Bugeyes, for sale for a long time. Just saw that it's no longer in their inventory. Would love to know who bought it. Have some stories to tell the new owner about it... Let me know if you or someone you know bought this little guy (this was around Lacey...

    Extended warranty opinions please...

    Hi all, My lovely F3S is about to run out of factory warranty in just over a month. I most definitely want to get extended warranty, considering it's a first model year bike which has already had issues and I'd love to avoid out of pocket repair expenses as long as possible. When I ask the...

    Snow tires on a Spyder? Why not?

    Hi folks, Posted a similar question on facebook but thought I might get more constructive replies here. People have asked if Spyders can be ridden in the snow and the general response seems that the tires don't have enough traction. But since our tires are basically automotive sizes, what's...

    First service sticker shock!

    I've read about first service here and there costing $150-200ish. Then 3000 miles rolled in and I called local dealers around... $350-400ish!!! I wondered if they were quoting the V-twin price (needing valve adjustment and other extras) but they said no, this is for the F3. Isn't it an oil...

    Sidecar on a Spyder?

    Hi all, I am not asking about the legalities of this idea, but has anyone put a sidecar on a Spyder? Yes, I do have my reasoning behind the question so don't beat me up too badly ;) Cheers, Julia

    F3 owners unite! BRP needs to get their act together.

    Hi all, We have purchased some pricey machines that seem to have a growing number of issues arise and BRP is reluctantly sort-of addressing some of them while we are stuck paying out of pocket to fix the poor design on others. I am not (YET) saying that I regret buying my F3S; but I DEFINITELY...

    Has anyone installed chrome parts on their non-black F3? Any pics?

    Hi all, My husband has this gorgeous black and chrome F3S and he really dislikes the chrome bits. He could plasti-dip them of course, but he keeps asking me if I'd trade my black pieces for his chrome ones (mine is the white/black/orange one in my signature pic). Has anyone done this? How...

    I love my new Lamonster LED fog lights but I have a question.

    Hi all! I received my order of fog lights last week and finally had time to install them today. Installation was easy and the parts look to be well made. The lights look bright in daylight, I can only imagine how bright they are at night! My question is, the big plastic panel, once...

    F3S running like poo-advice needed

    Hi all. Went on a nice group ride today and my F3S misbehaved. After sitting for about 1.5 hours, it started right up but stalled almost immediately; upon restart it barely idled and if I gave it a tiny bit of gas to keep it from stalling, it backfired like crazy. Check engine light came on and...

    Farkles coming slowly but surely...

    When I bought the F3S in my signature pic, I had a Blue Ridge windscreen and a passenger back rest added immediately for the long trip home (Greenville, Texas to Arlington, Washington with my 11 year old riding along part of the way). Hadn't gotten any additional goodies since due to finances...

    What do the actual RS handlebars look like under the covers?

    Hi all, I haven't had the guts to pull my RS-S handlebar cover apart yet to see what's underneath but does anyone have a picture of what the handlebars look like? As I understand, the Klingon starship-looking thing is just a cover, right? Does it have regular motorcycle handlebars underneath...

    RS-S seat question

    Hi all, The stock seat pan on my 2010 RS-S is broken (bought it that way) and the skin is ripped so... I figure it's time to get a seat. My question is, if a used Corbin and a new BRP Comfort seat are about the same price, which one should I get? What are the pros and cons of either? I do...

    Anything wrong with putting a trailer hitch on an RS-S?

    Hi all, As I understand, the older RT had the same drivetrain as the RS and the same swing arm. So did/does the ST if I am not mistaken. Both the RT and ST seem to have hitches available for them. What about the RS/RSS? I'd love to get a tow hitch on mine and there seem to be different ones...

    RS-S running warm, or is it normal?

    Hi all! Went on a lovely ryde on this lovely Washington day. Just a nice short ride around town. The temp outside was around 50 degrees, plus or minus a couple. I noticed that the RS-S coolant gauge was at 5 bars, which is a notable amount above "middle". Is that normal? The F3 never went...

    Couldn't stand it any more!!

    Been dying to go for a ryde, but life has been ridiculously hectic and Bugeyes was "buried" behind a couple of other cars away from our house (due to potential flooding at our place). I finally just couldn't stand it, had to walk up the hill (a 5 minute uphill walk is difficult when your hip is...

    Kanye West got an F3!

    Hey all, I hear Kim Kardashian got her hubby an F3! The girl has good taste in motorcycles :) It will be pretty funny if he joins the group. I must admit, the matte silver F3 looks pretty good! http://hollywoodlife.com/2015/12/28/kanye-west-motorcycle-kim-kardashian-christmas-gift-video/

    If I could only go to ONE Spyder event, what should it be?

    Hi all! I love road trips and take them (on 2, 3 or 4 wheels) whenever possible. But time and money are sometimes limited and it seems like most Spyder events are NOT in Western Washington so... if I was to choose one long distance event this year, what would you recommend? I know there's...

    How do you get an SE5 into neutral?

    Bought a 2010 RS-S (it was a deal I could not pass up), and it's great, but it's an SE5 and I'm only used to the manual shift so far. The bike did not come with an owner's manual and I haven't looked it up online yet (I apologize, I do plan on getting it and actually reading it) but if...

    2010 RS-S paint scheme ideas?

    Hi all! Just picked up an RS-S which is in need of a paint job. Not sure what happened; my first thought was that it had been repainted, but now I'm thinking that for whatever reason the factory paint didn't work out so well on this one. At any rate, I'm not the most creative when it comes to...
